This mockingbird was right above me in a blossoming tree and had his eye on a bee that was pollenating the blossoms. Right after I capture this, he had lunch :( Guess that's nature. Thanks for coming by, it's always appreciated. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Anita

Quite a capture, Anita, I've never seen such an intense look! Your clarity is excellent and I must say, the blossoms of spring are a welcome sign.

Such a lovely spring shot, Anita! This is tops! I love the subject matter and the clarity and the colors and the pose of the mocking bird. Do you always get spring this early in Texas?

a 92 !!!! that is if I was looking at the c index, which I don't to know that this is extremely well taken. It looks as if he's sniffing the flowers, and not looking at his lunch. I can't add much more than what's already been said, but I want to see more of your spring...for sure.

Perfect Anita. What a great capture of him bending his head down to get that bee. The flowers add to this so much. Great clarity and color. A 10 if I get to vote. Congats on this one, it deserves the 92 c-index or higher. In my favs, thank you.

Hey that's not fair. The only white stuff we have here is snow. Actually, it is getting better.

Anyway, nice shot!
